Come Share Your Talent at A Bouquet of Talent Linky Party #40

Hi, friends!  It's time for a party!!  I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.  I have family here from Missouri, who came for mother's surgery on Monday.  I spent last week in my workshop, and it has my brain on math overload!  Wow, I wasn't prepared for what I was getting myself into at all.  LOL  

Thank you so much for joining the party!  I love to see what you've created each week.  I am so missing having the time for my crafting and projects I need to complete.

Party Time at A Bouquet of Talent #39

Hi, friends!  Welcome to another Bouquet of Talent!  So thrilled to have you share your talent with us.  I have been trying to post this party for over an hour now.  For some reason, the new Inlinkz code is not cooperating.  

I know I have been missing in action for a few weeks!  I am missing you all so much!!  I have been so overwhelmed by everything that's been going on.  After seeing four different doctors, my mother has decided that she has no choice, but to have a major surgery to remove the very rare cancer that she has.  It will be on the June 17th.  I would so appreciate your prayers.  She will be in ICU for at least a night or two after the surgery, and in the hospital for awhile. 

I was also chosen to participate in a summer workshop out of 100 applicants.  It was bitter-sweet news as I told my principal.  :)  Three weeks of classes, but the pay is amazing.  So I just keep making a list of all the things I want to spend that money on.  Please bear with me as I get through the class.  My mother's surgery just happens to fall during the second week of the classes.  That's the way it always goes.  

I've just needed a few weeks to get some much needed rest and relaxation.  I am all recovered and ready to go.

A Bouquet of Talent Linky Party #38

It is time for another party!  I can't wait to see what you have created, cooked and crafted this week.  So sorry I haven't finished the Pick of the Bunch.  Even though I was looking so forward to being off for my first week of summer vacation and getting caught up, I have been non-stop busy.  I will get last's weeks features up soon.  They were all so amazing.

We just got home from celebrating my parent's fifty-first wedding anniversary today, and I thought I would be home earlier. 

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!!  Thank you so much for joining the party.

Father's Day Scrabble Tile Keychain Gift

Welcome friends!  I am so thrilled to be participating in the Sharing is Caring Blog Hop for Father's Day.  I don't know about you, but I always need all of the inspiration I can get when it comes to gifts for the men in my life.  I can't wait to see all of the great ideas from the blog hop.    

This post is part of the Sharing is Caring Father's Day Blog Hop hosted by Life With Lovebugs and Powerful Mothering!


                                 Sharing
is Caring Blog Hop


Today,  I am sharing a super easy and fun Scrabble tile keychain that I made for my daughter to give her dad.  You can have one of these made up in no time at all!


Scrabble Tile Keychain, Father's Day Gift, #scrabble tile, #gift idea, #keychain tutorial

For this project, you will need Scrabble tiles, glue (I used E-6000), thumb tack, very small eyelet, and a key ring.  I also used a small piece of wax paper when I glued the tiles together.  

How to make a hole in Scrabble tile

The first step is to make a hole in the tile so it would be easier to screw in the eyelet.  I used a thumbtack to make the hole.  This was the hardest part of the whole project.  Those tiles are very solid.

I glued the tiles together.  Once they were fairly firm, and I turned the pieces on their side so they wouldn't stick to the wax paper.  I allowed to dry overnight.

The last step was to add the key ring to the tiles.   This is the quick and easy version.  I really would have preferred to run a piece of wire through all of the tiles to make sure the tiles stay together.  I didn't have a drill bit that tiny.  Another easy way would be to drill tiny holes at the top and bottom of each piece and join them together with a tiny ring.  

You could also draw a heart on a blank tile and add I (heart) dad.  

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Be sure and check out all of the Father's Day ideas at the hop below.
